[General Questions and Answers] jsm7777:
I know for some the title is a little contradicting, but here is what I am looking for:

I would like to turn off calls and sms, and enable only mobile data (3g). Airplane mode is not good for this as it turns off mobile data. I have done this on an old windows mobile phone I used to have (motorola q) but I haven't found much info on android for this. I know some people have also asked the same question but no answer (forums.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/61387-how-turn-off-cell-phone-radio.html).

I have an Samsung exhibit 2, it's on gingerbread.

I am wondering if it isn't as simple as to replace the normal phone apks with the ones from a tablet (since tablets cannot make voice calls or sms) was anyone tried this? Maybe can point me to a place to try? I think the apks to replace would be the 2 being discussed here:

android.stackexchange.com/questions/7133/how-do-i-turn-off-the-cellular-radio-without-disabling-bluetooth

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] tharaka:
Tablets can make voice calls AFAIK. Although one looks very stupid holding a large pad onto the ear. Normally, it goes to Loudspeaker by default.

Anyways, what you are looking for might not be in Android. From the look of it, this is a driver feature. So if the drivers of the phone's radio does not support this feature it might not be possible.

Anyways, is it possible to do this in real GSM radios? Isn't GPRS in the same band as in Voice calls? I'm not sure about HSPA.
[General Questions and Answers] DarthCaniac:
Why would you want to do that?

Do you just want to disable texting and calls? (You could just ignore them?), or you could just use Wifi.

In older phones (like 2g and basic cell phones), they did not have mobile data, so all they had was the cellular radio. In newer phones though, the cellular radio and 3g/4g is the same piece of hardware, so it is not possible, as far as I am aware, to disable one or the other selectively. Sorry :(
[General Questions and Answers] robinsons1214:
If you're own a sprint phone and try to download a phone call can break the connection. I am also looking for a way to temp disable the cell radio while downloading.

"Juice" might do it. I know some of the battery saver apps will allow this customization where you can have data only, radio off, radio on data off...etc
[Android Apps and Games] tnind:
Hi,

I'm looking for people to test my first Android game Space Squad. It took about 2 months to make and should be an enjoyable experience. I've tried to expand on the current (stale?) recipy by having the user control a wing of 4 small ships instead of 1. They fly information but can be divided with multi-touch. When some ships die reinforcements warp in to replace them (until theres no more reinforcements that is).

I've also put in some other improvements on standard recipy:

- More exciting enemy behaviour

- Boss run mode where you only fight the level bosses

- Customisation options for your squad e.g. each ship starts with a shield / ships have a repulsor that pushes incoming objects away etc.

I wrote it in libgdx and would be happy to discus the engineering approach used with anyone who is interested. I also would be happy to co-develop with anyone if they wanted to expand it with me.

Note that the package name is DungeonCrawl, I should probably have renamed that when I decided to develop a shooter >< hope that won't cause problems later with updates/etc.

Edit: Have added attachement with the apk file on it for convenience.
[Android Apps and Games] motodroidfreak:
i would likt to try this. I have many diff devices to test it on!
[Android Apps and Games] tnind:
Awesome, it's on the app store com.DungeonCrawl or search for "space squad"

Let me know what you think. I'm particularly interested in the lower powered devices. If it runs slowly/ badly on midrange phones e.g. galaxy ace, I could add some options such as remove clouds/background.

Edit: have added the apk file to the original post too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bxsteez:
I've noticed significant lag with the Galaxy Nexus and I suspect its the GN launcher. I believe I've tried all the variations of the modded launcher. I'm wondering if everyone else is seeing the same thing?

Do you notice laggy transitions?

Are you dealing with it or running a new launcher?

Which one are you running?

What do you miss from the stock launcher the most?

Do you really like widgets in the app drawer? (i'm on the fence about that one)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
Adw ex launcher ftw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bxsteez:
I'm a huge fan of adw launcher ex!!! That was my first thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I tried adw ex right away but didn't like it. Was early on though. But I like the stock launcher enoughcit will be awhile before I try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Are you running a live wallpaper? A stock live wallpaper? If so, there is the cause of your lag.

I've never heard of anyone having a laggy launcher unless it was when using one of the included stock live wallpapers that wasn't the phase beam one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bxsteez:
There is extreme lag when using live wallpaper that isn't phase beam but even without there is noticeable lag. Its usually stuttering in the animation when going in and coming out of the app drawer or when scrolling from apps to widgets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Are you on 4.0.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bxsteez:
4.0.3

Different roms and different kernels and there isn't much of a change. I mean don't get me wrong its not like painfully slow that I want to hang myself or throw the phone out the window but it isn't even close to as smooth as the early alpha of ICS on the GS2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
ADW launcher EX
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Odd.. I've never experienced lag :/ try using nova launcher
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bxsteez:
Yup. Tried that as well. And "Home Launcher" which is currently my fav as well as the CM9 launcher. Pretty much the same thing all around. I did use adw for a few hours and that was buttery smooth but they have to make some changes to their folder implementation before i can use that everyday
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emuneee:
Using the stock ICS launcher. I need to get around to trying some of the other ones on ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plasticmoz:
Stock and I suspect some of the lag will be addressed by 4.0.3 if you're not already on a custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
Nova Launcher Beta7 > *
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
As much as I like Nova Launcher and ADW Launcher Ex, my first choice of launcher is LauncherPro because, as far as I am aware, it is the only one that has built in widgets for Facebook and Twitter.

I know you can install widget packs like Android Pro Widgets or Colorize Widgets but they all have issues, like jerky scrolling or the Twitter app only showing up to 100 tweets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
guess thats an alright reason

i only use 3 homescreens, *usually only 1* and only ever use 1 widget *beautiful widget 4x1* and leave facebook/twitter to the apps :P

widgets are battery suckers :P

and if you need to see more then 100 tweets on your homescreen you should be opening the app :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deekayy:
I'm surprised no one mentioned Go Launcher Ex, especially when it's free and provides a LOT of support. Check it out, it has very awesome animations for everything. Only downside right now is a bit of lag when opening the drawer, i'm sure that will soon be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fenerbuuh:
Nova launcher. Best one. No lag. 4.0.3 custom and Franco kernel

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
I use ADW.Launcher EX cuz it supports more than 16 apps using the built in Folders feature. Also icon skinning support.

I can't believe the stock launcher can't hold more than 16 apps in a folder... wtf is this, iOS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_mo_t:
Hey guys,

been a lurker for long...

anyway, I downloaded VERTREMA ROM cz I love the ICS theme... so I rooted my SGS2 using CF-ROOT guide

here

Checked it using Root Check Basic tool, and it says i have root access... so my sgs2 is rooted :)

so.... i tried to install this ROM using CWM app... i tried using update, chose the file, rebooted but didnt work... it says something E: can't open .....zip

What did I do wrong?

BTW, i placed the ROM inside /download/ folder (not in external SD)

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digi_fort:
Did you download the entire package ? it may happen if the download got interrupted mid way ......... in that case you'd have a zip file of a lesser size which can't be opened ....... try extracting the zip if you get an error you've got to redownload the package....

also ensure that the package is not read only :P (just incase)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_mo_t:
ok... package is not read-only... it's -rw... so it's good....

how do i check the md5 checksum in multiupload?

i m downloading the latest version now... hope it wont get disconnected...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Find an app like MD5Summer (Windoze) to check the MD5 sum once you've downloaded the package.

Also, you can use pretty much any archive program (7Zip, IZArc, WinRar) to test the archive once you've finished downloading it.

If it comes up with fail for *any* file, don't flash that package/download it again. You might have to try downloading it from a different PC/internet connection like I did a while back when I was having probs downloading roms from home without them being corrupt.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_mo_t:
no no... i mean before i downloaded the package.... is there a md5 checker tool so that i can compare wit the one that i downloaded?

ok i will try to download using another pc..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You have to finish downloading the rom/package before you can check the MD5 sum as there's nothing to check if you haven't downloaded it (obviously) :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_mo_t:
yes i know... what i meant was,... is there like a website that tells me the md5 cs in multiupload, so i can compare to the one that i had just finished downloading...

anyway.... thanks to the above poster.. i deleted it from my phone and then transferred the file again... and now it works.... weird,... i transferred first to my microsd, then to phone... i guess that method doesnt work... better to transfer it directly to phone...

thanks y'all!!! been a great help... very nice community here
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
The MD5 checksum is usually listed next to the link where you download the archive wherever you're downloading it from. Honestly, it's not that important. The most important thing is you get the entire file. And if you "test" the archive in 7Zip/IZArc/WinRar & it comes up all files OK you should be fine.

I've never had a problem flashing a rom/kernel where the test in IZArc has indicated all files contained within are OK/the archive isn't corrupt.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_mo_t:
ic.... oh well.. thanks anyway .... ohh 1 last question.. so if i want to revert to the stock rom, i just do the same thing but with the stock rom i can download from samfirmware?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Why not download the stock rom from here ? I wouldn't know about files from Samfirmware as I've never downloaded anything from there.

If you want to go back to stock, download the rom from Intratech's thread, flash it in Odin, done. Again, test the archive integrity in IZarc or similar to make sure it's OK (given you seemed to have had some problems downloading an archive that wasn't whole or corrupted).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_mo_t:
kewl! thanks!!!

[HTC Incredible S] Hiken_Ace:
hey guys i recently flashed the Official RUU for my phone , and now i have a G letter instead of E on the mobile network , as far as i know G is for GPRS .. and E is for Edge ... well my network was always on Edge and it still is , i tried to call them and ask about it , they said its the same , and that they cant do anything to change it , they said that i should be able to change this from my phone settings , but so far i have failed to do so... i'm just worried that if it is indeed GPRS then it will drain more battery ... so if anybody knows anything regarding this matter plz help !!! thanx in advance

P.S. the internet is working fine as it was b4 !! the difference is only in those letters up there
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
why would gprs drain more?

and anyways do a speedtest. G shouldnt give you results while E might give you 128kbps with 300+ ping

another cause, the ruu you flashed came with an older/weaker/incompatible radio
[HTC Incredible S] Hiken_Ace:
its the same internet i did a speed test , the only difference is the letter , everything else is the same !!!

i went to Mobile Network Type , where it should show Edge but in my case its unknown for some reason ... any ideas how to configurate that to Edge ?

and this is the Radio that i have , it came with the RUU

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevja1:
Hey All -

I ran a quick search and didn't find this problem. I wanted to document it for posterity.

My phone makes a buzzing sound. I've seen it in every ROM I've tried so far (seems to be a hardware problem).

The sound is faint, is unaffected by media volume, and goes away when wifi is turned off. The phone appears to shut off the sound hardware when sound hasn't been played for a while in order to save battery. This makes the buzzing stop. But if a notification comes in, or there is a quiet part of a song, you can totally hear it.

It exists regardless of the ROM I have installed.

The sound is like what you'd hear in an older computer with something called crosstalk. Back in the day, (and to an extent still), various components in the hardware would generate EMI and would affect the sound quality in sound cards. For example, I had an Adlib card that would buzz a little every time the hard drive would read/write to disk.

This sounds just like that.

Anyway... just vote in the poll/comment if you're having this problem. Please post to the thread if you have a solution. I'm not expecting much though. I'm pretty sure I'd basically need a new phone for this to go away.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I get a very slight buzzing in my phones, completely unaffected by wifi. Only happens with my CX300 in-ears, any open earphones i havn't heard any noticable buzzing (though have no tried any type of headphones yet). Using Voodoo sound, lowering the amplifier dB gain and putting the media volume up reduces it a touch.

I grabbed a pair of iphone earphones and the nexus s earphones to test it with some more types, no noticeable buzzing. Also, both their sound quality is appalling in comparison to cheap sennheisers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevja1:
Yeah, that's different than me. It sounds like your CX300s might be dying. :(

I've got some Klipsch S4i ear buds and Bose QC3s that both have the same problem. Its loud and clear enough though that I'm sure I could hear it with cheaper headphones.

I can turn the volume all the way to zero and still hear it. When I turn it up, it doesn't make it louder though, which is "nice". :)

I've been all over the voodoo sound settings and nothing helps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
That's a shame, your phone probably suffers a noticeable case of leakage between the components. Could this possibly be classified as a defect and be fixed/replaced under warranty?

Also, my CX300s have no hiss on a higher quality dac and it was noticeably louder on my old nokia. I guess they're just more sensitive, they are only 16 ohm after all. No drama for me ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevja1:
It might qualify as a defect. I'd have to bug Samsung I guess. I could see Samsung just telling me to deal with it. It doesn't make a lot of business sense to replace a $500 phone because the headphones hiss when wifi is enabled.

It would sure make me a lot happier about buying Samsung stuff in the future though. :)

That's really weird about your headphones. Unless the audio quality on the CX300s is far superior over the iphone/nexus s ones, I would expect them all to behave the same way. Even then, it would be very subtle. Maybe the Nexus S doesn't ground the headphone jack very well for your headphones?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
You could give them a call/email and see how it works out, but you'll probably be left without a phone for a few weeks if you send it so probably not worth it for you either.

Definitely far superior in comparison, but not nearly superior earphones :) Possibly a grounding issue, could even be just an unlucky set of Sennheisers that i got and have always been like this. They are out and about anyway, take a good beating and have been rock solid. Hopefully soon i'll be getting a decent pair of headphones for home use, funds allowing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kennyt67:
My laptop does the same thing, I'm thinking it is just interference with the headphones and your phone. might also be a lose wire or something in the phone or headphones :/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grejigl:
I know that this is old tread, but I had the same problem and solution might help someone.

In my case, the source of the buzz was charger (poor power supply filtering in cheap switching sources). I bought some cheap car charger/dock, and whenever I plugged my phone into it I would get lots of buzzing noise. Of course, I used it every time when in car, so I did not notice correlation for a while.

Using better charger solved my problem.

If by any chance you are charging your phone while you listening to music and getting lots of buzz, try disconnecting power cable to phone and see if there is noticeable difference. If there is, you found your problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Thanks for letting us know grejigl. Although not the source of my particular (non) issue, i can see it helping out someone else down the road.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevja1:
I'm running on battery power when it happens to me. I'm pretty sure its caused by something related to WiFi because as soon as I shut WiFi off, the buzzing is gone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue26:
Hey everyone. I'm trying to make contacts look the way they do in some 3.5 and, from what I hear, older Sense builds. As an example, when creating a shortcut to a contact and let's say, making it a 'quick contact', there is no icon covering their face (like in AOSP, CM7 or SoaB), which I prefer. I'm trying to see if there's a way to get that effect in other Sense Roms where the shortcut type covers a quarter of the icon. I've tried pulling the contact app out of the system folder, and deleting the quick contact icon, also the black button png, but still no dice. So I'm hoping someone with some knowledge can point me in the right direction here. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I've already downloaded and installed them via TWRP, but I dont see the market listed in my apps. Is it just built into the CM7 system now? because when I press the searchbar I have the option to search the market. I'm not connected to wifi at my house so i can't tell otherwise.

If it doesn't show in your app drawer, then use root explorer to install it. I had to install it manually after installing gapps. It was located @ /system/app/vending.apk - I just clicked it and installed it. After that, a quick reboot and I was good.

Hello All,

I have started this thread as I couldn't find relevant info anywhere else. I purchased a Galaxy R 2 days back. As mentioned in the specifications on the box, the device has 1gb RAM and 8 gb internal storage along with 2gb ROM. However, when I check my device, it shows only 768 MB of RAM. Again internal storage shows to be only 3.75 GB and not 8 GB. Please comment.
